Berwick Upon Tweed Test Centres and Pass Rates
The single Berwick centre's 54.3% pass rate exceeds the national average, helped by quieter border town roads and less traffic pressure than major cities. Rural Northumberland's mix of country lanes, stone bridges, and the occasional sheep crossing creates a different test environment from urban centres. Just 667 tests were taken between 2024 and 2025, with virtually identical pass rates for men (54%) and women (54.6%). Automatic drivers achieved 32.8%, though the small numbers make this less reliable.
